Toolkits

A whole series of practical toolkits have been produced by FDI, primarily to aid our member associations in their advocacy efforts at a national level but can be utilized by anyone working to improve oral health globally.

This chairside guide advises clinicians on restorative interventions with their patients. It is a visual support to the White Paper on Dental Caries Prevention and Management, with easy-to-follow guidelines suitable for the dental practice.

The FDI-Colgate Caries Prevention Partnership (CPP) was formed in 2015 to enhance caries prevention through information, education and other activities targeting dental health professionals, patients and the public in general. This Advocacy Toolkit assists national dental associations (NDAs) in shaping initiatives focused on policy implementation for the prevention and management of dental caries, also referred to as tooth decay.

This Guide, developed jointly by FDI World Dental Federation (FDI) and the World Health Organization (WHO), provides tobacco facts, highlights the involvement of the FDI and the WHO in tobacco control initiatives, discusses the role of dentists and other oral health professionals in tobacco control, examines the role of advocacy, and provides a number of wide ranging recommendations to move the tobacco control agenda forward.

This toolkit provides background information in a language which you can use with policymakers; a series of key messages; and practical guidance to assist you in designing and implementing successful advocacy campaigns which promote better periodontal health. It concludes with a series of case studies which could serve as examples for the implementation of innovative programmes.
